The sun has set, and apart from the small village, there are only rolling mountains left on the peaceful wasteland.
In the distant villages, there are only a few scattered lights
It seems that there are not many people in the village
"Brother Ning, where are we? Didn't you say you wanted to take us to hunt ghosts?
You don’t want us to wait under the locust tree, right?”
"That's right, Brother Ning, we haven't finished our meal yet, why don't we find something to eat at the hotel first?"
"Zi Zhengzhen... This place is so quiet, there must be a ghost!"
"Haizi, shut up, we know there is a ghost in this place even if you don't tell us!"
"Hey, how did you know?" Zhao Hai scratched his head in confusion.
"How do you know, how do you know, I saw it with an 8x telescope..."
Liu Hao and Sun Liang both gave him a big look!
The three iron fools followed Cao Ning closely, talking non-stop.
Cao Ning ignored it!
He walked straight to the locust tree and stretched out his hand to feel the spiritual power remaining in the tree.
"Luckily you're still here!"
The three tiehanhan were stunned when they saw Cao Ning talking to the locust tree.
"Brother Ning, is he crazy?"
"Is there a ghost in this tree?"
"Haizi, shut your crow mouth!"
Before they could react, Cao Ning had already returned from under the locust tree.
I saw him wave his hand, and three more swinging sticks appeared on the ground out of thin air.
This is the dark weapon he just exchanged from the system, which can cause damage to evil spirits.
However, it is not as practical as thermal weapons!
Cao Ning pointed to the small village not far away and said calmly.
“You’ve all taken care of that small village, right?
What you are looking for is right there!
I'll give you three hours to find that thing for me.
After completing the task, I will treat you tonight and take you to take a bath and sauna...
If you fail to complete the task, they will all be flown back to me on a plane tomorrow morning to lie down."
In order to plan this day, Cao Ning had been planning for more than half a month.
If they couldn't complete the task, Cao Ning would still be a little disappointed.
"no..."
Zhao Hai picked up the iron rod on the ground and looked at it for a long time.
"Brother Ning, don't we have guns?
How enjoyable it is to use that!
This... this... this stick is too ineffective!"
"You are the only one who talks a lot!"
Cao Ning rolled his eyes, then raised his foot and touched Zhao Hai's butt.
"If I could use an AK, what else would I need from the three of you?
When I see ghosts, I just tutu, and I am still happy and free
Stop talking nonsense, one person per person, go quickly!
Two minutes have passed now, and there are still 2 hours and 58 minutes until the end of the mission."
"No...is this the beginning?
Are there any clues or anything like that?
For example, what are this guy’s preferences and characteristics, does he bite or not?”
Zhao Hai covered his butt and said in confusion.
"There are still 2 hours and 50 minutes left!"
"Damn it, Brother Ning, you must have bought a fake, right? What kind of watch is this? Why do the hands move so fast?"
"Haizi, stop talking nonsense and leave quickly. It will be dawn if you keep talking."
"Liangzi, quickly take this idiot away..."
Liu Hao and Sun Liang don't want to listen to Zhao Hai's nonsense.
The more you talk, the faster the needle moves!
The two of them took him on one side and headed towards the village.
Cao Ning found it funny when he saw the three iron fools running away while cursing.
"Master Cao is really in a good mood!"
Just when Cao Ning was busy watching the excitement, a figure was reflected in the locust tree.
That figure is a remnant
After floating in the air for a few breaths, he slowly condensed into a human form
But it was still vaguely clear, as if it was about to dissipate.
If you look carefully, you will see that the person in front of you is clearly an old man, with cracked tree-like skin everywhere on his dry cheeks.
"Where is Lao Su, where has he gone?"
Cao Ning did not look at the remnant, but kept staring at the village in front of him.
The old man hunched over and stepped forward respectfully.
"Sir, my master has gone into the mountains three days ago and there is still no news."
"Going into the mountains?"
Cao Ning turned sideways and looked at the cloud-shrouded mountains not far away, frowning slightly, and suddenly there was a bit of an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Didn't he say that he would wait for me to come over before going? Why did he go by himself?"
Half a month ago, the old man's best friend Su Ke found Cao Ning and asked him for help.
It turns out that in Su Ke's jurisdiction, some evil spirits have often been causing mischief in recent years.
After Su Ke reported it to Hades, Hades also sent many people to investigate, but no abnormalities were found.
It was not until later that Su Ke heard that Cao Ning had solved several major supernatural cases one after another.
So I took the initiative to find Cao Ning for help!
For the sake of the old man, Cao Ning did not refuse.
But he also made a request
Let Su Ke cooperate with him and choose a place for him to train the three iron fools around him.
So, this is the scene now
"During the day, Lao Su called me. He didn't say anything on the phone, so I vaguely guessed that something was wrong.
But now that I see you are still there, it means that Lao Su is not in danger yet."
Cao Ning turned his head and looked at the vicissitudes of life beside him.
The old man bowed and nodded: "My master and I share the same spirit. If the master dies, I, as a bound spirit person, will also not be able to live.
It's just that today I feel that my soul has become extremely weak
I guess it has something to do with the current situation of the owner.
Although the old man is very anxious, he has limited strength and dare not act arbitrarily.
Please ask Mr. Cao to go into the mountain immediately to rescue the master!
It’s too late, I’m afraid the old master is really hopeless!”
After saying that, the old man knelt down beside Cao Ning and begged.
"You get up first!"
After Cao Ning glanced at the old man, his eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
Then he turned around again, still looking at the village not far away.
"I have an agreement with Lao Su first. He will help me complete the trial, and then I will go into the mountain to help him. It's still early now."
"this..."
The old man raised his head and looked at the village in front of him, with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.
"But Master, his life is hanging by a thread now, how can he wait any longer..."
"Are you teaching me how to do something?"
Cao Ning's face instantly darkened: "I said it hasn't arrived before the time comes, so don't make any noise!"
"This... this... I know... is wrong!"
The old man's expression changed drastically, and he bowed and did not dare to say a word.
...
other side
Zhao Hai and the others took advantage of the cover of night and quietly sneaked to the entrance of the village.
Behind the low wall, Zhao Hai poked half of his head out, his fingers raised to his lips.
"Hush, enter the village quietly, don't ask for a shooter... Ouch, why are you shooting me!"
Before Zhao Hai could finish his words, Liu Hao knocked him out of his mind.
"Why are you talking nonsense? We are here to catch ghosts, not to sweep them away!"
With that said, Liu Hao put away his swinging stick and walked towards the village generously.
"You're so arrogant... just going in?"
Zhao Hai scratched his head in confusion!
However, he had no better way, so he had to follow Liu Hao towards the village.
"Hey, hey, you two, wait for me!"
This village is not very big, there are probably dozens of households
There are street lights in the village, but not a single person can be seen along the way.
The three of Zhao Hai walked around the village several times vigilantly, but they didn't even see a single person, let alone a ghost.
"Take a break, take a break, my stomach has been growling for a long time!"
Zhao Hai sat on the steps and rubbed his dry belly
"After walking for a long time, we didn't even see a ghost. Isn't Brother Ning's news wrong?"
"Who knows!"
Liu Hao and Sun Liang are also like deflated balloons!
Looking at the empty surroundings, all the fear I felt before was gone.
"No wonder Brother Ning said he wanted us to look for him, and he really did."
Sun Liang sighed: "How about... let's go find something to eat first? To be honest, I've been hungry for a long time!"
Can you not be hungry?
I just ate a box lunch on the plane and I haven’t even had a drink of water yet.
"I think it's okay. Even if you're catching ghosts, you have to fill your stomach first!"
Zhao Hai immediately stood up and agreed.
"Eat? Where can we find it?"
Liu Hao shook his head and said calmly: "Look, there are only a few households with lights in this village. Can we go and knock on the door one by one?
Three strangers suddenly appeared in the middle of the night. If it were me, I wouldn't dare to open the door for you."
